Ribbons

A little while back my cardmaking group had a challenge to use ribbon on our cards, now I have not been a big user of ribbon on my cards and at the time I couldn't think of anything, well the other day I was making up some die cut layering flowers and I after I went over to my ribbon drawer to look for something and saw this ribbon I had purchased a few years ago on one of our trips, I had no idea what I would use it for but I just loved it so I picked it up, well I thought it went really well with the colors I had used on my flower so I tried to figure out a way I could use them together and this is what I came up with :)


The ribbon has that vintage feel to it so I tried to find some papers with a vintage feel to it also. To make my flower I inked up white cardstock with inks in 3 different colors before cutting the pieces out.

Thanks so much for taking the time to top by today,

Stay safe and well,

Gorgeous card, Connie! The die cut flower is stunning against the coordinating ribbon from years ago. I have hoards of ribbon that I just don't use. But I will "one day"
